I know today is a different age then say 20-30 years ago. What do you think is the best way to discipline young children? Do you agree with spanking or not spanking?
I'd love to know your thoughts...

Spanking is one of the most controversial discipline methods. On one side of the debate are parents who believe it is all right to spank their children. On the other side are those who think that children should never be spanked. Somewhere in the middle are parents who believe that spanking should only be used in particular instances (e.g., when the child runs into the street). Part of the reason for the debate is that parents and experts often define spanking differently.
